Back of the Book:
In a time of peace and prosperity, evil lurks behind seemingly good endeavors.
The fantastic land of Amara is recovering from years of war as well as from the spiritual apathy corroding the Amarans’ hearts. With Kale and her father serving as dragon keepers for Paladin, the dragon populace has exploded. It’s a peaceful, exciting time of rebuilding. And yet, an insidious, unseen evil lurks just beneath the surface of the idyllic countryside.
As Kale and her father are busy hatching, bonding, and releasing the younger generation of dragons, the light wizard has little time to develop her skills. Her husband, Sir Bardon—despite physical limitations—has become a leader, serving under Paladin. When Kale and Bardon join the dragons on a quest to find a hidden colony, they encounter sinister forces. Their world is under attack by a secret enemy…can they overcome the ominous peril they can’t even see?
Truth has never been more important, nor so difficult to discern.
My Review:
I greatly enjoyed this last book in the DragonKeeper chronicles. It was great getting to read about the continuing adventures of Kale and her dragons. I also love the comical interaction and humor Donita weaves into the story. It was a great tale of good overcoming evil that I’m sure anyone who’s read the other books will enjoy.
I will say that it didn’t have the grand, we-won’t-survive-this mentality, though. The other books have had such huge battles and enemies that you didn’t think anyone will be about to triumph over evil. I didn’t get the same feeling with this book. The characters weren’t beaten to a pulp and barely survived like in previous ones. They emerged generally unscathed even if the story took a lot of twists and turns that you wouldn’t have expected. It was well written, though, and I enjoyed it.
